The fans have spoken, and loudly I might have. Hilary Duff and her team caved to demands and released an alternate version of her “Sparks” music video. Dubbed, ‘Fan Demanded Version,’ the new clip doesn’t feature any of Duff’s Tinder dates. Personally, I liked the original, but glad there is one without her dates as well.

On a side note, did you watch Hilary perform this track on Ellen a few weeks ago. Love Duff and this new track, but the performance was unpolished and awkward to say the least. Whenever I hear this song now, I keep visualizing Hilary’s out-of-sync arm swings. Someone needs to spend more time rehearsing with her dancers. Check out the performance below and you’ll see what I mean.

Currently, Aydian Dowling is the frontrunner in Men’s Health’s “Ultimate Guy” contest. With only a month left of voting left, the Oregon trans activist stands a good chance of winning, given that he’s amassed almost five times as many votes as his closest competitor. Dancing With The Stars Season 20 contestant Noah Galloway won last year’s contest.

“I think if there’s one thing you want in life it’s to do your own thing, to live your authentic self,” Aydian tells Ellen DeGeneres. “Being on that cover will question the new average. Like, what is average? I think it’ll break that barrier.”

Dowling also talks about coming out as a lesbian before coming to grips with his gender identity and undergoing the transition process. Watch his interview below to learn more about Aydian’s journey. You’ll also get a peek at his wedding day with his adorable wife.

Earlier this week, Jennifer Lopez announced her first Las Vegas residency beginning January 2016 at Planet Hollywood. While the 45-year-old singer isn’t the best vocalist around, there’s no denying she’s one of the best performers in the industry. Woman knows how to put on an entertaining show.

J. Lo gave fans a taste of what to expect with her Vegas stint. She performed a medley of her greatest hits, including “If You Had My Love,” “Love Don’t Cast a Thing,” “Jenny From a Block,” “Get Right,” and “On the Floor” on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. Watch her energetic performance below. Props for singing live.

Just when you thought all teenagers were vicious heartless selfish individuals, you see an example of the best of humanity.

Jacob Lescenski, who’s straight, asked out his gay BFF, Anthony Martinez to prom after finding out he had no date. As kids do these days, it was done in extravagant fashion and filmed for YouTube. Naturally, this feel-good moment went viral.

Ellen DeGeneres invited the high school besties on her show this week. The two shared their story of how they became friends (someone had a crush) and what inspired Lescenski to ask his friend out. The talk show host, along with Shutterfly, gifted each kid $10,000 for their post-secondary education. Check out the heartwarming clip below.

Must get my hands on this CD!!! I’m sure hardcore Jake Gyllenhaal fans were already aware of his boyband past, but not me. That is until today.

The 34-year-old actor was surprised by Ellen DeGeneres with a promo shot taken of his group, Holeshot, years ago. He looks so late 90s, I can’t stand it. I wonder what the other guys are up to these days. Surprisingly, they recorded rock and not pop music. Likely story Jake, likely story ;)

The Southpaw actor also talks about his current dating situation. Apparently, he’s as single as can be and even open to being set up by his mother. How do I randomly bump into Mama Gyllenhaal to throw my hat in the ring. LOL. Check out the interview below.

Throughout her career, Kelly Clarkson has been criticized about her weight. It’s more evident as of late as she’s been working hard promoting her latest album.

While the 32-year-old could lose a couple of pounds, as most of us including myself, I think people are too hard on her. The woman just had a baby in the past year. Not everyone can shake off the baby weight within a couple of weeks. Sure, Clarkson looks great when a bit slimmer, but if she’s happy that’s all that matters.

Watch Kelly open up to Ellen DeGeneres about her body shaming which dates as far back to her American Idol days. She also sings a duet the daytime talk show host. Check both vids out below.

It’s Madonna Week on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. The 56-year-old pop icon is on hand all week long to promote her new album, Rebel Heart, in stores now.

On today’s appearance, the “Living For Love” singer plays Never Have I Ever with newly-roasted Justin Bieber. For the most part, the questions are pretty PG and tame. The most salacious thing they admitted to is hooking up with siblings. Who hasn’t ;)

What I would give to play an actual game with these two with a few drinks consumed, naturally of course. The tea that would be spilled would be epic. Watch Ellen play with Madge and The Biebs below.
